I only take medicine when the symptoms literally prevent me from functioning or threaten my life. With fever, I actually wrap myself up to keep warm, which lets my body "rest" instead of working to raise my temperature. This approach appears to have helped me get through many infections quickly, though I admit this is anecdotal.

literally prevent me from functioning

And that's literally. Inability to leave bed isn't enough
